Gabapentin

An anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat seizures and nerve pain.

Methylcobalamin

A form of vitamin b12, essential for nerve function and the production of red blood cells.

Treatment of neuropathic pain (nerve pain)

Management of seizures (as an adjunctive therapy)

Treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (pain after shingles)

Treatment of diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to diabetes)

Gabapentin's exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is believed to affect calcium channels in the brain and spinal cord, reducing nerve excitability. Methylcobalamin supports nerve health by acting as a cofactor in various metabolic processes, aiding in nerve regeneration and function. The combination aims to provide both pain relief and nerve support.
